研究清楚vagrant box格式以及内容 弄清楚本质

[gnuhub]

1.vagrant package 2.kiwi vagrant支持 https://github.com/openSUSE/kiwi/pull/353/files#diff-1a7ea0fd409ec5b8e08f6e1c518571ddL178 3.vagrant文档关于 如何制作 base box

目标

• 弄清楚box里面内容的格式
• 可以手工修改box
• 在vagrant package出问题时可以知道原因
• 定制与加强 kiwi 对 vagrant格式的支持

Creating a Base Box

• https://github.com/gnuhub/vagrant/blob/gnuhub_vagrant/website/docs/source/v2/boxes/base.html.md
• https://github.com/gnuhub/vagrant/blob/gnuhub_vagrant/website/docs/source/v2/virtualbox/boxes.html.md

检查kiwi生成的box导入文件

cd ~/.vagrant.d/boxes/kiwi_opensuse13.1_vagrant_8/0/virtualbox
ls
Vagrantfile   box.img       metadata.json

• 问题就在跟上面描述的结构不一样的呢
• 怎么是box.img?

检查对比Vagrantfile

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  config.vm.base_mac = "00163E60919D"
end
include_vagrantfile = File.expand_path("../include/_Vagrantfile", __FILE__)
load include_vagrantfile if File.exist?(include_vagrantfile)

Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
  # This Vagrantfile is auto-generated by `vagrant package` to contain
  # the MAC address of the box. Custom configuration should be placed in
  # the actual `Vagrantfile` in this box.
  config.vm.base_mac = "080027EB433B"
end

# Load include vagrant file if it exists after the auto-generated
# so it can override any of the settings
include_vagrantfile = File.expand_path("../include/_Vagrantfile", __FILE__)
load include_vagrantfile if File.exist?(include_vagrantfile)

• 没什么不一样啊

[gnuhub]

对比 metadata.json

{
   "provider" : "virtualbox",
   "format" : "vmdk",
   "virtual_size" : "16"
}

{"provider":"virtualbox"}

[gnuhub]

• 看起来就是vagrant的metadata部分造成的

Box File Format

• 就是一个压缩包 压缩类型可以是 tar tar.gz zip
